The first thing that attracted me to the Virus was the feel of the 61 key keyboard. I fiddled with one in a shop one day - without switching it on - and knew this was the keyboard action I was looking for.
The second thing that attracted me to it was... (sorry, you're going to have to bear with me here) that bit of blank space above the keys. Dunno, maybe its a Zen thing, but I like empty space. You'll soon find a neat use for it.
Oh yeah, and the third thing was when I finally plugged some phones in...
